Fur-Get Me Not Announces
Small Business of The Year Award
Arlington, VA - May 13, 2010 - Fur-Get Me Not was presented with the 2010
Service Small Business of the Year Award from the Arlington Chamber of Commerce
on Tuesday, May 11 at the 24th Annual Arlington Best Business Awards
celebration. The prestigious ABBIES awards are presented to
businesses that consistently provide outstanding quality of service and
products, have achieved significant growth or stability over the lifetime of
their business and display industry leadership. All ABBIES winners focus
on giving back to the community and making Arlington a better place to live and
work. Present to accept the award was Fur-Get Me Not Owner & President, Tammy
Rosen. "As an Arlington business owner, resident, and Mom, I am very
proud to accept this award. When I started this business 10 years ago, I
had a simple desire: to do something I was passionate about. What I
discovered was that when you like what you do, it becomes infectious. I
could not have imagined the size and scope the company would evolve to become. As so many small business owners can attest, building a business from the
ground up is no small feat. There are challenges that throw you off
course but through them all I've stayed focused on open, honest communication
with my customers and employees. And as the business moves forward, I'm
facing perhaps my biggest challenge of all - how to balance a business with two
small kids in diapers." "I am honored that our business was
recognized this year. There are so many wonderful, thriving businesses in
Arlington County that it is truly an honor to be declared in this light. As
Fur-Get Me Not continues to grow, we will continue to uphold the values of the
ABBIES by supporting the local community and creating a strong local economy." Read about it in the Sun Gazette Arlington Chamber of Commerce press release |
